The Bolafjall Viewing Platform rises high above Bolungarvík at around 636 meters above sea level and offers one of the most striking viewpoints in the Westfjords. From the exposed mountaintop, visitors are rewarded with sweeping views over Ísafjarðardjúp, surrounding fjords, and the open Atlantic, often stretching far into the distance on clear days.
The site is located beside a former NATO radar station, adding a subtle historical layer to the experience. Steep cliffs plunge toward the sea below, seabirds circle on the wind, and the sense of scale is immense. When weather and road conditions allow, Bolafjall is a memorable stop that truly feels like standing at the edge of Iceland.

Osvor Maritime Museum
The Ósvör Maritime Museum offers a glimpse into everyday coastal life in Iceland before modern harbors and technology. This restored 19th century fishing station shows how local fishermen lived and worked along the harsh Westfjords shoreline, using open rowing boats and simple turf and stone buildings.
Located right on the coast in Bolungarvík, Ósvör highlights the resilience and ingenuity required to survive from the sea. The setting is quiet and atmospheric, with ocean views, traditional structures, and a strong sense of history that brings Iceland’s maritime heritage vividly to life.
